no penalty. Just emailed them and requested to cancel my order.
Ok, so I ended up getting this late last night, even though stupid CM never told me that I got charged, let alone that it even shipped 
. I'm pretty satisfied with it. The mossy effect is very cool throughout the piece. The 3 heads are magnetic and attach easily. The pot feels like a real plant pot, but I don't think it is. The translucent green parts are very nice, and don't seem too fragile. As posted before, this isn't a super heavy piece like most ECC items, but it doesn't need to be either. I kind of get tired of their 60lb boxes lol. Is it slightly overpriced? Yea, but what isn't in this hobby now a days? You get a high quality item with a low ES, 3 change o heads and slight articulation of the arms. I'd recommend this to any Groot or GOTG fan. A few pics:

I'm surprised how big he is. I was expecting a little bit smaller, but I love the size here. The 3 head sculpts look great, but I don't think I'll ever use the "pouty" face.
Also, the instructions say you can move the arms up to a 45° angle, but I'm too afraid to try. When I tried there was a lot of resistance and the sound made me nervous. Not sure why I'd ever need to reposition the arms though.
Without further ado...

Nice pics guys. I think it's cool the way they did the faces. Thought the whole heads would be swappable but makes more sense as faceplates. Should have mine tomorrow.

My Groot. Think it came out great. Nice detail. Lighter than I thought, but also bigger than I expected.

I received mine today. Overall it's a good piece if not a bit pricey.
As others have noted it's not that heavy, with the bulk of the weight I expect being solely the pot alone.
I've gone though all the posted pics and it seems everyone (me included) are leaving the arms in their up raised position as they come in the box. Even though the instruction sheet pic that comes with it has the arms down (like I believe the prototype pics had) and makes mention that you can bend it 45 degrees. I wish that they had provided multiple pics that show the full range of articulation in the arms.
On the faceplates/head I've noticed that the joints between the 'scalp' and some of the 'hair' pieces are quite noticable. In that they were glued on but a few of the joints weren't fully hidden by paint.
Also the method that they've used to create that white brushed effect on one of my faceplates seems a bit too straight. It's a bit hard to explain, but I can sort of see horizontal straight lines across the face. But lucky it comes with multiple faces.
But overall I am pleased that I purchased Little Groot. All I have to decide is where to put the little guy.

Hey Guys & Girls! 
Thought I would share a few pictures of my Potted Groot
I have the little guy planted on my desk at work and as you can see he has befriended a couple of mini figures 
Thoughts on the product?
He was a tad pricey, however given that it has 3 different sculpts, is a nice size and not overly space consuming I don't regret pulling the trigger on this piece.
I will eventually take him home and probably display it with a print out / back drop of the inner ship from the 'dancing scene'.
